571 details

Enjoy pure charm, style and tradition with our extraordinary patent Oxford in black. Originally worn by high-ranking members of the British military these much-loved dress shoes became socially acceptable in the late 20th century and remain the ideal partner to a dazzling tuxedo.

Our black patent Oxford is crafted from finest calfskin, but the extra polyurethane layer coats the typical grain characteristics of welted calfskin by using a traditional polish method, which was developed in the 19th century.

The ideal shoe for the tuxedo – our Patent Oxford

Although our No. 571 is a high-gloss patent men’s shoe, whose beautiful glass-like finish catches the light, it can still be worn for a number of formal occasions. The traditional Oxford style, with its typical closed six-hole lacing, lends traditional elegance to the Italian-style square-toe last, making our No. 571 more versatile than you might think.

That said, this patent Oxford in black can overpower a simple business suit. It looks its best with a dinner suit or a tuxedo and sparkles in the low light conditions of the finest parties. The comfortable footbed and leather sole of our patent Oxford meanwhile provide shock absorption and durability, and are perfect for passionate dancers.

Patent Oxford

At first glance, this is simply a formal Oxford. But a sleek, glossy finish transforms the look of the classic shoe. The leather upper is covered with a special layer of polyurethane, making it the perfect, eye-catching accompaniment to a fine tuxedo.

Italian Square-Toe Last

First developed in the 1930s by Italian shoemakers, this square-toe last was designed as a response to England’s classic last. Marked by a boxy toe, this type of last is particularly popular in Germany. It is perfectly suited for average feet.

French Calf

This shoe’s upper boasts premium, medium-soft calfskin. The technical term for this type of leather is ‘French calf.’ This type of leather is known for its flexibility, fine texture, and soft grain.

General information about our formal shoe collection

Goodyear-Welted

The gold standard when it comes to shoe manufacturing. Goodyear welting is a painstaking process that involves stitching the shaft and outsole to a thin strip of leather. Shoes made this way are extremely stable, durable, breathable, and easy to repair.

Handcrafted

Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.

Full-Leather Shoes

The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.

Construction

These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.

Gentleman's Corner

These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.

Breathable

This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
